Fighting pollination

HOHO · Jan 16, 2009

i trying to fight pollination by spraying water on my plants in the early morning to kill pollen.. any thoughts?

might help, but will not work completly. Why not get the males the f out??

even with pollination, you'll have few problems, and a few seeds... not a fully pollinated crop (as is what happens if you lose a male amongst the females...)

water is great for killing pollen, but beware! after 4 weeks in flower, spraying ANYTHING is an invitation to rot, esp with indicas....

A little pollen goes a long way.

HOHO · Jan 21, 2009

but none of the hairs have shown signs of pollination,meaning that there still bright white and no reddish brown.. thats what happens when their pollinated..... right?

since the 21st day flower.. i stripped the bottom vegetation so that i could see every thing easy,and started plucking and sprayed them twice with water i have been finding them for five days now but very few now i must say...i think that for the most part when most of the pollen was in the room the buds weren't mature enough to pollinate and i have 2 6"vortex fans with carbon scrubbers attached to replace the air very quick...
i have had to pluck them before at about the same time and the smoke was seedless i just never used water before to try and cheat and not have to look as hard..i can be kind of lazy. :joint:

That air is what will spread it...But hey seems good so far.

i'll be sure to post how seeded my buds are..case anybody is interested. :roll:

diemdepyro · Jan 22, 2009

Sure that is how we all learn. Most books on the subject are just not currant.

HOHO · Jan 25, 2009

well i think its safe to say that water is not good to fight pollination... :neutral:

however it did seem to concentrate almost all the seeds to the bottom of the buds and are easy to see forming,so i just stick my thumb in there and giver a pinch and viola!... seedless! :mrgreen:

well i dont now fur sure cuz its only a month in but i do have a nirvana bubble gum that is heavily nocked up!!. the little whore

i have found they are very sensitive to light leaks..

ps.. so i guess it comes down to how seedless i can keep it by hand..

born2killspam · Jan 25, 2009

Apparently a male plant can produce up to 200Billion grains of pollen.. You may not have a whole plant, but you do the math..

Hey dude you still got some nice seeds! :eyesmoke:

It's all good in growing and some do not make it that far.

I wouldn't trust mystery herm'd seeds for very much.. The mother has shown a weakness to resist, and that will be double reenforced in the offspring..

but that is what he has

which is better than 0
